Ezra's music is described as deepRead Full BioGeorge Ezra (full name George Ezra Barnett) is a British singer-songwriter from Hertford, England. Born on June 7, 1993, and the son of an art teacher, Ezra grew up in Hertford, attending Bengeo primary school and then Simon Balle Secondary School, before moving to Bristol, England, in 2011 to pursue a music degree at the influential music school “BIMM.” His younger brother Ethan Barnett is also a musician and goes by the name Ten Tonnes.

Ezra's music is described as deep, bluesy and mournful - particularly in tracks such as "Budapest" - and is peppered with influences from the likes of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. Richard Pitt from BBC Bristol aptly described Ezra as "a young man with the voice of a 50 year old”.

Ezra appeared on the “Introducing...” stage at Glastonbury in 2013 and came fifth in the BBC’s Sound of 2014 poll.

EP releases - 2013 & 2014Ezra released his debut EP "Did You Hear the Rain?" in October 2013, with his second EP "Cassy O'" being released in March 2014.

First Studio Album - "Wanted on Voyage" (2014)Ezra’s first studio album “Wanted on Voyage” was released on June 30, 2014. It became the third best selling album in 2014 in the UK.

Second Studio Album - "Staying at Tamara’s" (2018)Ezra’s second studio album “Staying at Tamara’s ” was released on March 23, 2018. The 11-track album’s title comes from the time he spent in Barcelona writing the album, where he stayed in an apartment owned by a woman called “Tamara.”

Podcast HostOn February 12th, 2018, Ezra launched the first episode of his first podcast, “George Ezra & Friends”. On the podcast, he has interviewed several musicians including Ed Sheeran, Rag’n’Bone Man, Craig David, Hannah Reid of London Grammar and Ben Thatcher of Royal Blood.

On December 17, 2019, he launched his second podcast called “Phone A Friend” with his old friend and schoolmate Ollie MN. On this podcast, he and Ollie chat about life and their issues with mental health, in the hopes of encouraging others to do the same.

OtherEzra has a 1-inch scar on his forehead after running into a wall while he was a student at BIMM music college in Bristol.

this song remind me of the beach and being careless and riding in a jeep with the windows down and the sunroof open and having fun and the sun shining down on you and dancing like there’s no tomorrow and it reminds me of a tropical island and like coconuts and flowers and staying at a condo at the beach for a week on vacation and visiting gift shops and visiting the boardwalk and you walk past a bar playing this song and couples dancing together and idk if this makes sense but i want this aesthetic SO BAD

Fun fact: At the time he wrote this song, he hadn't been to Budapest. Infact, he missed the train from Malmo (Sweden) to Budapest cos he was too hungover. He only wanted to write a love song with three chords, somehow, it ended up being this beautiful song about a city he never visited!

I'm from Hungary and I live in Budapest but I want to move to England soon because I'm in love with the whole country and the language, so for me it's weird to hear that a british guy sings about my hometown. o.o The song is really good btw. :)

5 years later and England is far from being what it was. I hope you didnt make the journey as it would only be abject dissappointment. Id move to Hungary if I could. England has become a very depressing, unwelcoming pot of anger and frustration. London is so miserable that migrant families are sending their children back to Africa where its safer. That should tell you something.
